I am sitting at the computer, looking out the window at our neighbor's bull. He is as ornery as any bull should be, but our neighbors don’t keep him in the barn like the other folks. They picket him on a little peg, in their field, which is about twenty steps from our front door. Now, just a little earlier, my younger brother threw our Frisbee in front of this bull, just about two feet in front of him. I keep thinking it would be best for me to just go out and get it but then I remember what happened to the neighbor boy last week when he tried to mess around with this particular creature- he got chased all over the valley! Now, even though getting chased is not the worst thing in the world, I am really not in the mood and this young bull is growing horns, too. So, how do I rescue this Frisbee?
For those of you who have asked me to write a Turkish post, I have translated this into Turkish:
Burada oturup pencereden dýþardaki komsumuzun boðasýný seyrediyorum. Þu boða altý aydan daha yetiþkindir ve, tabiiki çok huysuz ve ters ama bizim komþularýmýz, boðalarýný ahýra baðlamýyorlar. Dýþardaki küçük bir çiviye baðlýyorlar ve boða bizim evimizden sadece on metre uzaklýktadýr. Þimdi, az önce küçük kardeþim Frisbeemizi tam boðanýn önüne attý. Ben de “sadece gidip alsam daha iyi olmazmý?” diye düþünüyorum, ama ondan sonra komþu cocuða ne olduðunu hatýrlýyorum. Boðaya yaklaþýnca, boða onu koþturmuþdu. Ben de koþabilirim, tabiiki ama þimdilik gerekten istemiyorum. Oysa, nasýl þu Frisbeeyi alacaðým?

The word for Frisbee in Chinese is "fei pan" -- flying dish! That is one that I know off the top of my head, because it's so funny. :D
Yeah, getting chased by a bull would not be very good.
